Hot Knives

C F

[Verse 1]
C
I am feeling embarrassed
              F
I let the moonlight get the best of me
 C
I swear I was doing better
                   F
Right now I'm just drunker than I meant to be
      C
Snow swallows up the Puget sound beneath
F
My feet six stories down
C                                           F
Beneath blueberry wine and blunts telling myself

[Verse 2]
                         C                      F
I'll wake up from this nightmare, roll over to find
                         C                     F
Your soft freckled shoulders right there next to mine
                      C
I can't help feeling bitter
                       F
I can't help feeling left behind
                 C
I don't give a shit
                 F
I'm not embarrassed I'm just
  Am                            C
Falling apart on the back porch of the house
   F
That I used to live in

[Chorus]
          C        G                 F     C  G       F
And I don't know if it's the hot knives or the dissociation
             C     G                 F
Could I still drive this car all night and
             C      G          F
Crawl in bed with you in Oakland?
         Dm
I can't remember how it happened
          C       G       F
I got to used to isolation
          C        G            F
Now I still talk to you at night to
          C         G           F
See you smile and feel you listen

[Break]
C F

[Verse 3]
C
And I can feel your fingers through the
F
Burn holes in my sweatshirt
C
I wind up smoked out in your bedroom
       Dm
Every time that I get hurt
C
You pull my hair and I get scared
F
I steal your favorite sweatshirt
C
And wear it when I miss you
F
Months after you're gone

[Break]
C F

[Chorus]
          C        G                 F     C  G       F
And I don't know if it's the hot knives or the dissociation
             C     G                 F
Could I still drive this car all night and
             C      G          F
Crawl in bed with you in Oakland?
         Dm
I can't remember how it happened
          C       G       F
I got to used to isolation
          C        G            F
Now I still talk to you at night to
          C         G           F
See you smile and feel you listen


[Verse 4]
C
And I can feel your fingers through the
F
Burn holes in my sweatshirt
C
While we make out in the bathroom of a house
F
I've never been before
C
When I black out we're holding hands and
F
Laughing in your kitchen
C                                                   F
I still struggle to feel stable months after you're gone.
